Comments

When run without options, Install_Key prompts for the following:

Part Number An 8 digit part number that identifies the type of key being installed (for example, 70031088 is the interactive users key). Do not include any suffix.

Software Key A 24 character software key; for example, 2543 B82E 9E48 BE86 FEC2 28A4

Comment Enter an appropriate comment, if required.
When run with the -i option, Install_Key installs keys from the specified key file. Note, however, that Install_Key does not install serial numbers. If a serial number key is found in the key file, it is ignored. To install serial number keys, use Install_SN or, on UNIX, installkeys.

Note that on Windows, the preferred method of installing software keys is by use of the Reality installation program. Depending on your version of Windows, this can be run from either Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features in the Windows control panel, refer to the Reality on Windows Installation Guide for details.

The show_key command displays the current Reality serial number, customer id and installed software keys.
